The employment outlook will be good for Electronic service technicians (household and business equipment) (NOC 22311) in the Campbellton - Miramichi region for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions.
• Several positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a moderate number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

• Increased consumer demand for advanced digital equipment should continue to create opportunities for technicians, especially for those who stay up-to-date with the latest technologies. However, due to the declining price of electronics, as new technology emerges and the speed with which it changes and improves, many people now prefer to replace an electronic device rather than repair it. This change in consumer habits may dampen job opportunity prospects in the repair and maintenance sub-industry.
• Employers will typically provide training on the job. However, additional training and certification would be seen as an asset. For those employed to service fire alarms, for instance, Canadian Fire Alarm Association (CFAA) certification demonstrates to employers that the candidate is capable of working with this technology.
